Genesis has introduced several updates to its electric SUV, the GV60.
On the outside, the SUV receives a redesigned front bumper and new headlights that feature microlens array technology – which was first seen on the brand’s flagship G90 saloon, which isn’t offered here in the UK. The microlens array technology gives a more precise and clearer headlight beam image from utilising dozens of tiny modules from compact light units.
The car sits on 21-inch alloy wheels with a five-spoke design, as well as body-coloured wheel arches and bumper accents.
Inside, the updates continue with what Genesis calls its connected car integrated cockpit or ‘CCIC’ for short. The interface screen is 27 inches and shows driver, audio, visual and navigation information. Added to that, there is a new three-spoke steering wheel design, too. Other details such as the rotating ‘Crystal Sphere’ gear selector remain the same as in the previous model. Further details on the updated GV60 will be revealed later this year.
Genesis hasn’t revealed whether the powertrains for the updated GV60 will change either. But, if they remain the same, that means the car will utilise a 77.4kWh battery pack throughout the range with a choice of either a single-motor rear-wheel-drive layout or dual motor all-wheel-drive powertrain with either 313bhp or 483bhp.
Prices and order on-sale dates are yet to be revealed, but it’s likely that this new updated model will cost around the same as the old model which started at £54,105.
